Before yesterday I made a small surprise-gift...even for me was a surprise how much I liked to work in this technique : shadow-trapunto. Obviously I was " innoculated" by Geta with all her wonderfull works.The background is a piece of hand-made batik that I received from Daniela and the surface is organza received from Ela Ghioc during November Surprise swap.It is quite small : 22cm x 22 cm ( square of 8.66 inch). Here is it yet wet, after washing out the vanishing thread :

Today I receive this very surprisingly "martzichor" from Marinette in Belge. Last year she was my martzichor swap partner and look now : she didn't forgot me :))I will look forward to answer back at such a great gesture...I must recognize that this year, with some other a lot of problems on my head, I didn't send any martzichor to anybody :((Thank you , Marinette !
